Sermons
Doug Van Meter - 9 March, 2025
Flourish Like the Father (Matthew 5:43–48)
According to Jesus those who flourish are righteously related to the Father through his Son. They have a righteousness that exceeds a merely external righteousness; that is, they truly, whole-heartedly, “whole-personally” keep the Law of God. This is the kind of life expected of those who have been born again, precisely because the gospel that saves us also empowers us for such Father-like flourishing. We consider the text before us under two headings: 1. Love Like Your Father (vv. 43–47) 2. Live Like Your Father (v. 48)
Scripture References: Matthew 5:43-48
From Series: "Human Flourishing: A Study of the Sermon on the Mount"
A short, devotional study of the Sermon on the Mount, which highlight human flourishing.
